titleize

What is titleize?

The titleize npm package is a utility for converting strings to title case, where the first letter of each word is capitalized. It is useful for formatting titles or headings in text content.

What are titleize's main functionalities?

Title casing a single string

This feature allows you to convert a single string to title case. It capitalizes the first letter of each word while keeping the rest of the letters in lowercase.

const titleize = require('titleize');
console.log(titleize('mr. jones is from new york.')); // 'Mr. Jones Is From New York.'

Title casing an array of strings

This feature allows you to map over an array of strings and convert each one to title case.

const titleize = require('titleize');
const titles = ['mr. jones', 'dr. smith'];
const titleCased = titles.map(title => titleize(title));
console.log(titleCased); // ['Mr. Jones', 'Dr. Smith']

Ignoring certain words from being capitalized

This feature allows you to specify an array of words to ignore during the title casing process, so they remain in lowercase.

const titleize = require('titleize');
titleize('the wind in the willows', { ignore: ['the', 'in'] }); // 'The Wind in the Willows'
